I heard about these today and several people are saying they work great. I see several in my future.
Found some EC ice reels on sale for $21 and thought I would try them out for 2 poling. I like the feel and weight on my HT 11" JSG rods that I replaced all the eyes with 11 micro guides. I am also using 15# PowerPro slick braid. Have not fished a lot with these reels but they seem to work great for me. I am looking at cutting down the handles to make them a little more compact. I have to customize everything . I have been using ultra light Cetina Pflueger under spins for 3 years and they have held up great. Here is a pic for comparison.

Is there a way to disengage the spool or do you strip the line off?
I have 2 of them used them last winter worked great no line twist just make sure you turn the handle till it clicks twice or you will have a mess on you're hands found out the hard way and they free spool really nice!!!!
Does Gander or Dick's have these on display where I could go feel of one ...??

Ive never seen them at Gander but they probably have them somewhere. Especially with ice fishing season approaching.
